Who would have thought that in 2017, a Wolfenstein game would not only prove itself the tour de force of a genre its long existed in, but a poignant, emotional pulp title that rivals some of the best and most brutal in wartime fiction.

Miitopia is the game I once had a dream about sometime in 2007. After sinking hours upon hours into games like Wii Sports, Wii Play and Mario Party 8, all I really wanted was to take my Mii, Nintendo's ever-flagship avatar characters, and Miis of my friends and toss them into a sprawling fantasy world, complete with wacky costumes, silly lore and a story that feels like Mad Libs meets Final Fantasy.

It took everything in my power to not open this review with a “Wonderwall” joke, and here we are. Everything about Ever Oasis, the new 3DS action roleplaying title from Grezzo (The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D), sounds great on paper.

Long before Super Mario Maker brought ease-of-use game creation to the mass market, the RPG Maker series hit the scene, helping fans build their own games without explicit coding knowledge. Unfortunately, there’s always been a bit of a learning curve.
